2016 Map of Midway SW

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the southeastern corner of Colorado, carving a distinct corridor through the high plains of Baca County. This 2016 survey illustrates the drainage patterns of the high desert, where ephemeral waterways like Spring Canyon, Moore Draw, and Mitchell Draw feed into the river valley. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which dictates the placement of local thoroughfares such as Co RD 48 and Co RD K. These roads trace the section lines across townships like t34s r42w and t35s r43w, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and ranching layout of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain's subtle elevation changes, showing how local coulees and draws shape the rural infrastructure far from major urban centers.
